    I suspect you have gpm installed. (Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and move your mouse
    around; do you see a white block cursor tracking your movements? If so,
    then yes, you have gpm installed. Ctrl-F7 should get you back to the X
    Window System.)

    If you do, you'll need to run "gpmconfig" and configure it to repeat the
    data as "ms", then reconfigure X to pull the data from "/dev/gpmdata".
